Hi please help me!
After 2 days of searching and asking, I managed to install cncjs on the pi. But now I have drawn a square of 1000x1000mm converted to gcode with fusion 360. I can open the file in cncjs I get to see the drawing but when I press play I get an error
Error:Line Number is not Last Line Number+1, Last Line: 0
Resend: 1
And how can I set my work surface in cncjs?
Thx
What firmware? Marlin? grbl?
Are there N1 line numbers at the beggining of your gcode? Those need to be exactly sequential which makes editing manually a real pain.
Setting zero depends on firmware version. Marlin support is coming along, but not 100% yet.
The last time you helped me, you shared this link with me https://github.com/Allted/Marlin/tree/MPCNC_MRambo_T8_16T_LCD
The gcode made whit fusion.

Can you configure the post processor to not put the N10 N15, etc. in there? I don’t use fusion, but I’m sure thats your problem.
Do you have a suggestion which post processor is the best? That use now comes from the v1 site.
I just read through it, but that is still a bit too difficult for me. It’s chinese for me then that I understand.
Try Estlcam. It is way simpler. Ryan’s tutorials on it are great.
Thank you I put the lowrider to work with Estlcam, it is indeed an easier program. But now I have a new challenge. I photograph fabric patterns and I draw them in inkscape and export them as a DXF file. When I turn on the machine, he starts to make the pattern exactly to size, but he always blocks and he does not bite while drawing and he did not do that with fusion .
I’m sorry. I can’t understand what you’re saying. I got that it didn’t have this problem in fusion, but I don’t understand what the problem is.
He makes short stops during the sign. in the meantime I have tried the gcode with the sd card. with the sd card he makes a smooth movement
This is a bug in the current CNC.js version (0.9.18 or lower). It has been fixed in 0.9.19. The v1pi image will be updated soon, but I haven’t found the time yet. You should be able to update manually.
is there a manual somewhere. or is making the update a very difficult job?
Thanks for your help
If this is a v1pi image, you can stop the service using: sudo service cncjs stop
Then you can upgrade with: sudo npm install -g cncjs@latest --unsafe-perm
Then reboot, and it should start up. Be patient, it will take a while on a pi.
I am working on the new image, but some of the infrastructure has changed, so I have to work just to get back to ground zero. I hope to have the images this week though.
That would be great. where are you going to post it on the forum?
If you have an idea when it will be ready, I will keep it in sight.
Thanks again for your good work.
It will be at the tail of this post: https://www.v1engineering.com/forum/topic/v1pi-raspberry-pi-image-with-octoprint-and-cnc-js-and-wifi-hotspot/
v0.16.0 is on github now: https://github.com/jeffeb3/v1pi/releases
I haven’t tested this on the CNC, but it’s working as well as it can on the desk.
Hello Jeff. Thank you very much I will get to work with it, I will let you know how it goes.
Is it possible to connect the pi with an ethernet cable? I still have an old desktop on which I put ubunto, but now it is not connecting. the computer is not equipped with WiFi
I still have the problem that the lowrider makes small stops with cncjs. And with the SD card he makes a smooth movement
you may try to use post processor referred on the Milling Basics page
